The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, Vol. 1 by Usata Nonohara
3.0
A stampede of vicious monsters, an alchemical spell gone wrong…
Mariela has awoken to find her world has disappeared, time & the forest reclaiming her cottage, a Labyrinth City now sprawling across a once familiar land. Soon, she discovers that she’s the only alchemist left; a secret she’s determined to hold on to.
As she makes new friends, including a pact with Siegmond, Mariela works toward her own apothecary, where she can create her potions in secret, while still helping those around her.
A slice of life fantasy, with low stakes & cozy friendships. A fun one, & a nice companion to the mangas. Like the mangas, I disliked the Amber character, who’s basic identity revolves around her large bust & is commented on occasionally. I also dislike the use of slang. (While not offensive, I find it annoying)
Content Notes: crude talk/comparison between bust sizes
